Hendersonville man wins Cash 5 prize

Norman Piasecki, of Hendersonville, plans to use his $343,624 Carolina Cash 5 prize to help him retire from his job at a local retail clothing distributor.

Piasecki was at home when he learned he'd matched all five numbers in the Oct. 27 drawing to win the jackpot.

"I woke up Saturday morning and got on the computer to check my numbers," Piasecki said. "I saw the numbers all in a line, one after the other. I started shaking. I just couldn't believe it. I was in total disbelief."

Piasecki plans to use a portion of his winnings, worth $233,666 after taxes were withheld, to pay bills and travel. He purchased the winning ticket at the Ingles Kiosk on Champion Drive in Canton.

"I like the Cash 5 game because it's easier to play than Powerball and Mega Millions," Piasecki said as he collected his winnings. "I'm really glad I played Cash 5. Now my ship has finally come in."
